Though 50 Cent has sold nearly 30 million albums worldwide and scored eight Top 10 Hot 100 hits (including three #1s), he has not forgotten the hard times. So in these difficult economic days, the artist who debuted with Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ will give something back to his fans by giving them incredible value for money with a DVD of a full-length original movie to his much anticipated fourth album, Before I Self Destruct.

The gritty 90-minute film, also titled Before I Self Destruct, written, directed and starring Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent), is a coming of age story about an inner city youth raised by a hardworking single mother. When his dream of becoming a basketball player fails to materialize, he finds himself employed in a supermarket. After his mother is tragically gunned down, Clarence (played by Jackson) is consumed by revenge and takes up a life of crime in order to support his younger brother.

For the explosive Before I Self Destruct album, 50 Cent returned to working closely with Dr. Dre and Eminem as he did on Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, his first official album. With Dr. Dre and Eminem producing and guesting, 'Before I Self Destruct' is darker and harder than 2007's 'Curtis', as shown by the grimy single and video to 'OK, You're Right' (produced by Dr. Dre), which was serviced to the streets earlier this year.

After nearly two decades writing and recording some of her generation's most emotionally powerful music, Tori Amos will release her first seasonal album, 'Midwinter Graces', on November 10 via Universal Republic Records. A follow up to Tori's critically acclaimed studio album, 'Abnormally Attracted to Sin', 'Midwinter Graces' will find Tori reworking and expanding on classic carols as well as developing some of her very own seasonal tracks.

'Midwinter Graces' is an album that has been in the making for the past 40 years. Raised in the Baltimore area under the watchful eye of her Methodist minister father, Tori grew up playing holiday carols at Sunday services and Christmas Day celebrations in her father's church. These were the songs that gave a young Tori her first taste of music, and now almost 40 years later Tori gets her own chance to re-imagine classics like 'What Child, Nowell' and 'Star of Wonder'. Tori will also add her own bittersweet bliss to the season with original tracks like 'Pink and Glitter' and 'Our New Year.'

For 'Midwinter Graces,' Amos has again teamed up with long time collaborators Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, and Mac Aladdin on guitars. Tori has enlisted the help of a Big Band and an Orchestra with stunning John Philip Shenale arrangements to create Tori's new seasonal classics.
